Enzor Stewart was asain r Last Friday night we depart the sultry heat of summer's passion, here at Hill Field, for our bivouac on Monte Cris- to, where the frigid breezes flowed like water off the mountain peaks that still defy the summer sun by wearing their winter hibernating caps of crystallized snow. It was necessary for us to cover ourselves with three blankets to keep warm, but for several of the fellows this wasn't enough, so they spent the night snuggled . near the fire. About 4 a.m. we heard the strangest noise in ; the valley near the ; fire and, upon investigating, discovered that it was our fireman, Pfc, Frank "Soup Yodler" Colombo, sipping h i s soup to the tune of "BOOGIE ed from WAC Notes 2287th Q.M. 1028 Air By Pfc.

CQ in this organization is a duty that takes in. physical training, cross country hiking and brain teasing, according to Sgt. Thurman (happy hunting) Cole, for in the evening when phone calls come in asking for his first problem is to figure where the guy is and then chase after him. When on sergeant, "happy CQ again, hunting." so, Francis "Old Soldier" Goerig and Eugene "Pop" Huff- stutler (who, by the way, has a lovely wife ) thought that they had found the Girl Scouts camp that was supposed to be in the vicinity when they saw four (4) flashlights flashing on and off in the valley. They grabbed their guns and rushed madly down to show the girls their merit badges. But, to their disappointment, it was our Lt. R. P. Dilfer and his three scouts who had lost their way. Cpl. Patrick "Coyote" Vro man, in the evening, played the guitar and sang songs by the campf ire just before retiring.,: Cpl. Ernest "Chef" Minniear and Philip "Whiskey Tenor" Huffman led the singing, with quite a few of their "25th Street Ballads." Frank "Glossy Top" Hodges was the raconteur of the evening and some of his stories prevented us from freezing during the night.

If that's the effect she has on you, Harry, then we hope that she remains for the duration plus six months. Lt. Albert Dickerson returned from the CWS School in Denver just in time to hit the cash register to the tune of $3 ' for the Unit party. He thought it would have been cheaper for him to have taken a course and stayed another week. A feud is being formed and should arrive at a conclusive point soon. A brief story ties in with the two competitors. It all Pfc. Roesler started when muscled in on Sgt. Kofoed's gal while riding a bus from Como to HF. The sergeant, left in the cold, decided to give Sgt. Sanders a bad time by taking over his gal. The latter sergeant could- n t see this (he was already an gry at giving two bucks for palm reading in Como) and began fuming at the mouth. And there you have it.
